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.

Name:Belial
Meaning "Worthless"
He wasn't named for it's meaning, but for a story his mother remembered about Belial being a ruthless demon. She thought it fit him well, even as a young colt.
Age:6 Years
Gender:Male/Stallion
Herd:Bachelor Band 1
Rank:Bachelor Stallion
Desired Rank:Herd Stallion or Lieutenant
Appearance:
Belial is a specimen that is easily overlooked, as he isn't a relatively tall stallion, nor a boisterous one. He doesn't stand at a miraculous height, only at about 16.2 hh total, though he has a stocky build that helps make up for his lack in height. With his robust build, being a more meaty stud, and cream colored coat, the stallion sometimes gets mistaken for a mare at a glance. It was the one thing his mother always gave him, he was pretty for a stud.
Being relatively wide, it's unsurprising that Belial has thickly built legs with large hooves to match. He's not build for great speed, but what he does do well is endurance and stamina. Capable of holding a steady jaunt for quite a while, he often can simply out last anything going against him. He has a set of wide and powerful shoulders and flanks, layered in thick muscle which make his kicks and pawing something to avoid if possible. He packs quite a bunch, and with ropey neck muscles to match, his bite is no less fierce. The heavy male has a bit of a more round build than his siblings, who are either leaner or just muscular in general, but do not mistake it for softness. There isn't a soft bone in the male's body.
The one thing Belial does have going for him, as his mother said, is he is a relatively pretty stallion. He isn't super rugged or overly masculine like some males, but also lacks the defined feminine features of mares, instead he balances somewhere in between. His coat, though, for some reason, is always viewed as something on the more feminine side, though he has no control over the genetics that created it. Belial is known as a Palomino, a pale creamy color base accented with white markings. The only white on him, though, is located as a single sock on his right hind leg, and a white star on his forehead. His mane and tail are not quite white, instead just being a paler cream color than his base color, though only by a few shades. However, as his mane and tail grow longer, the tips take on a gingery hue.
Belial has a pair of hazel eyes that have icy undertones to them, and a voice that is not entirely that deep for a stallion. It's actually rather light, and capable of reaching lethal chilly tones when angered.
Personality:
Cold | Cruel | Indifferent | Quiet | Introverted | Calm | Calculating | Sharp [Mind & Tongue] | Intolerant | Protective | Loyal [to his Brothers] | Deceptive | Manipulative
wip
Crush:None,
Potentially Open in the Future. Pm Me.
Mate:None;
Though, surprisingly, Belial would likely be a One Mare Stallion if he did find a lady.
Foals:None
Kin: Arlo is his Half-Brother, they Share a Father.

My Lead Mare Name: Mara meaning: death
Age: Six
Gender: Female
Herd or Band: The Wild Herd
Rank: Lead Mare
Appearance:
Mara is a mare that stands at 15.4 hands, around average. Her frame is more on the slender side, best used for running and swiftness. Her legs and body as a whole is slim, with defined facial features. Her coat is pure white, not a single other colour upon her besides white, if you don't count her face. Upon her face lay black spots, similar to freckles. They scatter around her face, the most being on her eyes. Her eyes are surrounded by black that resembles that of eyeshadow in a sense. Mara's nose is also also a light pink. Her mane and tail are also white, the exact same colour as her coat. The only difference is that upon her tail is a single streak of black. Her eyes are dark brown and few scars litter her body from failed attacks or in attempt to defend herself from predators.
Personality:
Cruel || Testing || Brutal || Blunt || Truthful || Vengeful || Picky || Headstrong || Caring || Cunning || Collected The first thing one may notice about Mara is her cruelness to outsiders or those not accepted into her little circle. You see, the mare enjoys testing others to see if they are worthy of her favour. She likes to know who she can rely on or not, especially if dire situations arise. She cannot have a herd that would turn their backs on her in a moment of weakness. She will not have another leave her behind when danger is near. Mara prefers knowing who would be there for her, through thick and thin, so, she is careful who she considers friends. One thing for certain, Mara is can be very caring towards those that have gained her trust. She would do anything for them. To her, love and trust mean most. Those that she accepts, she will care for as her own. She will bring them gifts, check up on them, ensure that their lives are overall easier. She will favour them and do things she wouldn't do for another. Again, this is why she chooses who her friends are carefully. The moment another turns their back on her, well, Mara will never accept them again. She will hold a grudge for years if she must. She may seem emotionless at times, hardly cracking a smile in anybody's direction, but that isn't to say that Mara doesn't have feelings. She does, simply dislikes expressing them. She doesn't enjoy being read by others, so she carries herself with a blank expression and a stoic posture. Some may even question whether or not Mara can feel anything. She can, simply chooses not to show it. It's as simple as that. Now, Mara has a brutal and viscous side to her. The mare doesn't worry about getting her hands dirty in certain situations. She is by no means lazy, but very determined and headstrong. She can be rather.. feisty in such that she won't hesitate to harm another physically or verbally to teach them a lesson. She is also blunt and awfully truthful. If you wish to find out truthful advice, simply go to her, and she will tell it like it is. Mara sugarcoats nothing. Collected, Mara refuses to show weakness to anybody. That isn't to say she doesn't have any. Of course she does, simply does her best to hide them like everybody else. She is also fairly cunning and assertive, how else do you believe she obtained this rank? Certainly not by being nice or cozying up to the lead stallion. Mara fights for what she believes in, and is fairly intelligent. She has various plans and is able to think quickly in the midst of an issue. She is a good individual to rely on, despite her cold nature. Mara is cruel, that is for certain, but she would still not turn her back on another if they truly need her help. She may be uncaring, but she values life and would never jeopardize anybody's if she had a choice. In summary, Mara is brutal and expressionless, but when accepted, she will favour you. Regardless if she likes you or not, she will look out for you, that is, if you're within her herd. To outsiders, well, they must prove themselves first.
