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 to survival was rough, and some were lost along the way, 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.

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 & Yearlings.
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 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.

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 independance.
4. Colts MUST leave at 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. |

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.

[1/4]
Name:Goes by and is Called Mirri;
Her show name was "Mistress of Fire"
Age:4 Years
Gender:Mare/Female
Herd or Band:Broodmare Herd
Rank:Herd Mare
Desired Rank:
Lead Mare of her Own Herd
Appearance:
Mirri is a stunning mare of fiery appearance. The mare is pure-blooded Arabian horse with lines that would, and have, made others drool. Though none of that means anything to her now. However, true to her lineage, it's very easily to tell that the mare is of Arabian Heritage just based off her appearance.
Standing at just barely 15 hh, Mirri holds a coat that is very fitting to her show name. Bright bay in color with a sooty dappling over it, the mare resembles something akin to burning embers. Her legs are nearly all black, with her hooves being slightly lighter in color. Her back is nearly black from the sooty marking she holds, with connects to her tail and mane of equally inky tresses. Her face is the same bay coloration as the rest of her body, though it darkens to almost a black blaze down her face. Her nose is dark in color as well, and her ears darken from bay to black near the tips.
Figure wise, the male has a very distinguished appearance, as any Arabian does. Her physique is delicate and defined, her features being far more dished and chiseled in stereotypical fashion. It gives her an almost dainty appearance, without making the female weak as a whole. Her legs are long and slim, elegant in their strides, while her body is well muscled but on the slender side as well. Her mane is relatively long now that it has gone ungroomed by man, but her tail has remained closer to it's normal length.
Her eyes are a dark molten chocolate in color, but do not lack confuse this with warmth. There is ferocity and determination in those depths that make it clear to others when they aren't welcomed. Her scent is that of wild flowers with the subtle hint of something a little bit spicy.
Credit for Both Images Belongs to Valarian-Warrior on DA. Stock Images.
Personality:Mirri has always been a mare that has known what she wants, when she wants it, and how she wants it, and she has never tolerated it being any other way. Even in her now home, with their new rules, Mirri always toes the line of the rules, making sure never to overstep while still holding onto a sliver of her freedom and independence. She is a confident mare, capable of making decision quickly and decisively and without doubting herself. She rarely, if ever, thinks she is wrong, and even if her decision leads to complete disaster she will rarely ever believe it to be of any fault of her own. As far as she is concerned she is darn near perfect, and she won't listen to anyone telling her otherwise.
The female is a brazen creature, bold and fiery in her actions and words. Her incredible confidence and lack of self doubt make it possible for her to act and speak as she feels without the worry of what others think. If she has an opinion, she will voice it. Something she wants? She will probably try and take it. Mirri is a direct creature, and determined at that. There is very little that can stand in her way when she sets her sights upon something. Of course, this can make her kind of a target for others and can rub them the wrong way. Since she won't care if she steps on them in the process, she has a tendency to make more enemies than she should. Not that is really ever bothers her. Like it was mentioned, she wants what she wants.
Mirri is, of course, not without flaws. She is an exceedingly hot tempered mare, with little to no patience. It takes barely anything to set off her temper, and those in her path best quickly step off it to give her space. If someone comes to close when she is angered, they are bound to get burned. The female has a good bit of intelligence and wit, so you can best believe that, if you make her angry, she will destroy you with her words and won't hesitate to throw a kick or bite too. She has no qualms with violence. The hot head has the bark and bite to back it up, and she grew quite the reputation with the humans back in the stables for being a rather nasty mare to work with. Nearly impossible to ride because of her hard headed stubbornness and difficult to handle because of her impatience and annoyance for being forced to what others wanted.
It's also important to note that the female has a tendency to look down on others, mare and stallion alike. Many of them, in her opinion, just don't hold a torch to her and aren't even worth her time. She isn't afraid to voice it either.
Overall, not the most likeable mare. But she's okay with that. She's got her sights set high, and she has every intention of getting where she wants.

S A U L C E R I S all images in this bio are stock images by blissfully-blind on deviantart { Age } 13 Years . . { Gender } Stallion . . { Herd } Bachelor Band; either works! . . { Rank } Lead? Just a band stallion is fine if not Saulceris is a stallion of, for lack of a better word, beautiful coloration. His coat appears to be the coloration of honey in some places, and more of a tree's bark color as you travel further down his legs. His mane and tail are of a pristine, light blond color, strikingly contrasting his dappled, darkly colored coat. . . Saulceris is what humans would call a dappled chocolate palomino; his coat contains an array of palomino shades, lightening toward his center yet darkening toward the ends of his frame on either end, particularly toward his legs, which are then a blond similar to that of his mane and tail as you near his hooves. . . Saulceris inherited the deep brown gaze of his mother, appearing to glisten a vague golden color when the sunlight hits them just so. They hold a certain fire to them, an undying ferocity, especially when he was taken on a battle for the sake of the mares and foals of the herd he assisted Riker in protecting. . . The stallion stands at an approximate 17.4 hands, with a build consisting of defined muscle and his figure depicting that of a healthy, well-fed feral horse. He is a large stallion, having inherited his height from his father rather than his quite short mother, and often used his size to his advantage in warding off rivaling stallions or predators. Had it not been out of place for him as a lieutenant rather than any sort of true lead, he would have gladly assisted Riker in his fight for the herd; he, unfortunately, did not want the fight to be unfair and their rule to be declared unlawful. { Adaptable } - { Alert } - { Clear-headed } The stallion is respected likely due to his approach to life; he is willing to adapt to every challenge life throws his way, accepting them gracefully and easing into a new routine with minimal difficulties or reservations. He does his best to always be aware of his surroundings and alert, listening carefully for anything that would pose a danger to his herd. Saulceris approaches things with a clear mind and a calm demeanor. . . . { Compassionate } - { Considerate } - { Cooperative } The palomino is a stallion driven by his compassion for the herd. When times got rough in his birth herd herd and a mare passed, or a foal was lost to natural causes or a predator, Saulceris was one of the first to join the mares in their grief. He'd step in as a shoulder to cry on, standing close to the grieving mare(s) and offering his support while she needs it. The wellbeing of the mares was his main priority, and he'd do anything it took to be sure they and their young would thrive. He'll work with anyone he needs to if it means the herd is fine, even if he isn't particularly fond of the individual. . . . { Decisive } - { Dedicated } - { Dignified } Saulceris is a stallion that knows what he wants and how to get it; he isn't manipulative, but he is a hard worker. He carries himself with the dignity and the authority of a stallion that many would believe was a lead, though he was content to remain a simple herd stallion while whoever was in charge of his natal herd was around; he had a home, he was happy. Saulceris is dedicated to the herd and to his lifestyle, and especially dedicated to any mares that claimed a special place in his heart; he wasn't a one mare stallion, but he will love them all equally and treat them like the queens he firmly believed they were. The stallion is a romantic, and he will sooner die than treat a mare poorly. / / / { Busy } - { Enigmatic } - { Family-Oriented } Unfortunately for his devotion to family and his clear adoration for his mares and foals, Saulceris was always quite the busy character. When he wasn't patrolling the outskirts of the band for dangers, he was trailing well behind everyone to make sure there were no stragglers. He could often be seen standing at a higher vantage point, looking down on the herd and watching for any danger further away. For all that was clear in the stallion's personality, there are also mysteries as to how he gets around and takes care of things in general. He's almost an enigma, though not quite; he's got his mysterious qualities, but to call him a true puzzle would be a minor overstatement. . . . { Intense } - { Old-Fashioned } - { Private } The stallion is quite old fashioned in terms of belief; he holds the "laws" of nature very seriously, especially in terms of leadership and how it's passed on. Saulceris is intense in how he handles things, particularly the safety of his herd; he will not back down until his dying breath, should a stallion attempt to take over. His foals and those of his companion stallions are of his greatest priority, alongside the general health of his beloved mares, and he will do everything in his power to be sure all is well and the younger generations survive. Despite his fierce protection of the herd, Saulceris is a bit of a private horse. He doesn't air his dirty laundry or voice his concerns out loud, and will instead handle them privately; concerns are discussed with the others first, to be sure they're worth the action, before he will seek it out. In general, he does not like (at all) for anything in his private life to be made public to the herd. / / / { Assertive } - { Blunt } - { Calculating } A blunt stallion with every move carefully thought out ahead of time, Saulceris never had any issue putting his hoof down when push came to shove. He would be one of the first to charge in and start kicking when things got rough, though not without a clear course of action planned out in his mind. The stallion is assertive when he needs to be, especially with young colts still learning their places. He's blunt, never afraid of speaking his mind, but he will feel bad if his words push a limit even a centimeter too far. { Crush } N/A . . { Mate } N/A . . { Offspring } He likely has a few out there, feel free to DM me <3 . . { Other } Copied and pasted from another RP, made edits as I went through; if I missed anything and it's specific to being a lead or lieutenant feel free to ignore it or let me know and I'll fix it lol ( Saulceries loves bluebirds ) |
