This stallion's coat is a very, very dark blood bay. His mane and tail are the usual black, but he is often mistaken for either a black horse or a dark brown one, depending on the lighting he is viewed in. Ouranos' coat has a distinct iron tinge to it that is most prominent on sunny days. His black mane and tail are long and slightly wavy overall, though he does have some sections of shorter, straighter hairs. His eyes are a moderate brown with green flecks that make themselves apparent every now and then. Despite his overall warm-toned coloring, though, this stallion is as cold and hard as an early winter.

His dark face seems void of emotion; his exterior is guarded and his mask rarely comes loose. Ouranos has a low, rumbling voice that carries without being classified as "loud." His words are almost stiff; they have a demanding tone to them and never really soften. He has no warm fuzzies.

While he isn't the tallest creature out there, he is large, standing at about 17 hands. His frame is muscular and not quite bulky, but his forte is obviously in physical strength. Sunlight on his sleek coat produces light ripples over his frame, emphasizing his body definition. His shoulders are set on a barrel-chested body and sturdy legs hold up his proportionate frame.

Scars crisscross here and there from various battles, the vast majority of which he has won. His veteran looks only add to the appearance of a more hostile, unapproachable creature. He is still handsome -- just in a dangerous way.

Personality

Ouranos is a frosty creature. He does not enjoy company, really -- his main issue with it is all the gossip and petty banter that go back and forth. Mare drama absolutely disgusts him. He prefers the company of more sober, serious animals. The only horses he really likes are the more sober, serious ones. He will not spread gossip himself; rather, if he has an opinion, it will be stated like it is. His words are rarely said with any hidden intent behind them: if he says something, he usually means it as fact or observation. Words meant to jerk an emotional response are said... differently.

Ouranos is not the biggest fan of foals. They are clumsy, immature, often quite bratty, and have absolutely zero sense of self-preservation. The only ones he would take kindly to are his own offspring, but he would be extra strict with them as to "raise them right" while also obviously favoring them and their mothers over the rest of the herd. In that sense, he is family oriented, and perhaps gives him a good quality.

Ouranos has no interest in outsiders. He attacks first, asks questions later. This silent, scarily cold stallion enjoys the rush of attacks, the dancing patterns of a good match. He especially loves winning. Despite his quick action to protect those he may travel with, his loyalty to them is debatable. He never expressly acts like he cares for herd or band life, but he doesn't act so disinterested as to leave it entirely. He is an enigma.

He lacks a sense of humor, and he finds it irritating when others pull jokes or sarcasm on him all the time. Those who do are likely to get a good nip or a swift kick, and they usually don't do it again. Everyone knows he's a serious, stoic individual. He isn't easy to approach, and finding any semblance of a caring stallion is almost impossible. Yet, there have been instances where he has been known to show affection.

It is common knowledge that he is ambitious and competitive. He pushes to excel at everything, often uses subtle demands, and manipulates other horses to see his ways and follow them seven. He can become smooth and open to emotion, humanizing himself into a fleshed out character who will outwardly display feelings -- when he wants to. Sometimes it's genuine; other times it isn't. It's very hard to tell the difference with him. He is, however, loyal to the horses closest to him, and his offspring will always have him to go to.

He is not wicked. He is not kind. He is a mystery. Nobody knows what he will do next. Will he be his intimidating, stormy self? Will he dare show something as fickle as affection? Will he flirt? Will he shut down a conversation? Is someone going to die? Will he rescue an irritating foal in need? Ouranos is uncharted water; expect the unexpected with him.

Crush

Indifferent, really.

Mate

Open to a few flings

Foals

Open to minions.

Kin

Mara (sister), Idrun (half-sister) -- both with the herd

Other

He can take in foals if need be, but he is a dude, so they'd need to be old enough to be weaned. Spirit, obvs.

Appearance

This mare is quite a sight, even by looking at her build and nothing else. She is strong and proportionate, standing at 15 hands and sporting an elegant but hardy frame. She has a softly sloping face, a slight dip from her withers to her flanks, and a lovely arching neck. Firm, well-placed hooves promise a steady, easily balanced gait and surefootedness.

Idrun is a grulla, technically, though her coat has a strong brown tint compared to others of her general coloration. She could also be described as a dark brown dun. Either way, her coat takes on a metallic sheen that shifts it more towards a bronze. Idrun's face and legs resemble melted dark chocolate -- almost, but not quite, black. She is a pinto and sports white splashes and streaks across her body as well as four stockings. Patches of her base coat do show through , especially by her elbows. She has a white, almost heart-shaped star and a thin, trailing stripe down to the bridge of her nose.

Idrun's eyes are her defining feature: while some horses have various shades of brown, and others have blue, she has green eyes. They are large and surrounded by dark, thick eyelashes. They are the first thing someone notices about her upon first meeting. Her eye color is rather startling. Captivating. Uncanny.

She may not be the tallest or most muscular animal out there, but she is stronger than she looks and fully capable of handling herself. When she cannot outsmart or outfight an opponent, she always has the option to run; Idrun is agile, and she has excellent stamina. Being the disinterested creature she is, Idrun is not one to start or accept physical altercations.

This mare has a moderate voice, not low, but not high pitched either. It has lulling inflections to it; it's the kind of voice you'd want to read a bedtime story. She can harden the soft and smooth, however, and her words can become icy and rigid if she so desires.

Personality

Independent -- Aloof -- Unfazed -- Mellow-ish -- Go With the Flow -- Loyal -- Curious -- Occasionally Competitive -- Fiercely Protective -- Will Steal Your Soul

While she enjoys the company of certain others, mainly her sister, Idrun is not very herd-oriented. She doesn't mind being alone,
