Welcome to Defying Gravity, a semi-realistic natural horse rpg!
There are no mutations, magic, or rainbow ponies here; the horses of the Homelands must carve out a life for themselves by their wits and strength alone. We have no cannons or "site-wide plot" to speak of as we've found that there are a ton of creative people out there and when our members are left to their own devices the plots stay fresh and fun for everyone. So if you're looking for a laid back site with no so called "unique" plot you must adhere to, Defying Gravity just might be the place for you!!

Hey guys! I'm Nala and I help out as a mod here. If you've got any questions ask away! I don't bite most of the time. I'm 18 years old and I've been role-playing for about 4 years now. I don't have any horses of my own, but I've been in love sense I can remember. I like to think I have a general knowledge base, but trust me when I say I'm probably the first person to point you in the direction of someone else for an answer.

Thy Story: If you knew Florence you would know the definition of grace. The young mare likes to think she got her graceful beauty and attitude from her mother, the beautiful island flower Amaryllis. This could very easily be a true statement, but anyone who knows Florence knows there is something else there, something very deep down that is rooted to the little mare's very soul. Even though youth and happiness in constantly flowering from Florence, the most common place to find the white colored mare is wherever its raining.
Her mane and tail hang like blood in the rain, from her dulling white body. Her eye's share the same watered down look of the beach sand. Never has the mare shared why she does it, and hardly ever is there a companion willing to stand in the rain with her. This, however, is just what Florence is grieving. At a very young age she knew of the difference within her. Ever sense that moment, shes been waiting in the rain for that special mare to accompany her in her journey through life.

Thy Story:
If you know Czar you know the definition of loyalty. Czar has resided in the cold, near waste land climate of Cikuq since he was born. Only on the bitterest days of winter does he travel south to shelter. Do not be mistaken. Czar is not and has never sought the thrown of Cikuq. He considers himself more of a gatekeeper, a caretaker of sorts. In the recent past most of Cikuq's kings gave up on the land and walked off without so much as a second glance. Although Czar does not consider himself king, he rightfully holds a place of power in the territory as one who knows its harshness inside and out. All who look to concur Cikuq or those who venture too far into its vast snow covered lands finding themselves lost in their own lives should seek out Czar, for he has spent his entire life thinking and with the power of that thought you just might find your way.
You will never find Czar alone in his loneliness. Delpi, his trusted friend, will always being flying in sight or perching upon the black stallions back. She blends into the background of their home but comes as a complete contrast to her dear equine friend. Delpi is a snowy owl who has spent an equal amount of time thinking. She considers herself an oracle, and although Czar isn't quite sure of the truth in this myth, he listens keenly to all of the birds wild dreams. Some of these visions just might be worth your ear as well.

Thy Story:
If you knew Quvenzhané you would know the definition of independence. The world most commonly knows this little tike as Hushpuppy. Even at the young age of two, this little Bayou filly was running on her own. Of course she had her tight nit Bayou family at her side whenever she needed them, but need them she did not. Her father's death marked the last of her reliance on the adult world. Her mother abandoned her shortly after birth, and although she still has a bond with the invisible mare, she harbors unfelt anger towards all who abandon her. This feeling of abandonment is no stranger to Hushpuppy. She has a warped sense of it at such a young age, commenting often on how everyone leaves eventually and how you can't trust anyone to be sticking around for you.
Hushpuppy, although always young at heart, finds herself playing quietly was small creatures. She listens for the heart beats of everything, matching them up with her own. The odd behavior shes exhibited sense birth keeps her slightly separated from the other children of the bayou. Overall though, Hushpuppy would much rather keep it that way.
