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!!

Astrid, Estrid, or Aestrith is a given name of Cikuq origin.
Noteworthy: Astrid iii, last known heir of the Norvin bloodline. Perished alongside bretherin during "the coldest winter." Was the last to freeze, uttering these words upon death: "So shall it be, if it be what our Frost Mother desires."
“Names define. Without a name, you are nothing. You have no meaning, no purpose. You are useless. A name can give you tremendous power, but only if you permit it. Hear a name once, you'll learn to forget it. Persistance is key; if you intend to show them who you are, you must make yourself known.”

astrid the valiant

INTERIOR. Astrid holds a fair amount of pride. She takes it wherever she goes. She radiates it. Most would question just what it is she had to be proud of, but such a question could easily be answered just by looking upon her. The mare was gifted with the strength and bulkiness of a dweller of the north combined with the lean slender body of a southern speed demon. Raw power pulses through her legs, enabling her to move faster and climb higher. For this she is fortunate, for the desire to move is ever-present. There is no need for small-talk, and no desire to stop and appreciate the scenery. She's always pushing past those pretty fields and rocky roads. This mare appears to be programmed this way, and her coding is far too difficult to change. Survival seems to be the only important instinct. Fear is scarce.
She is a devoted one. She has known the world's cruelties, and so she has taught herself to trust no one. Defense is second nature to her. Attack, well, let's just say some stallions have cowered in fear beneath her hooves. Having her as an ally would be more than beneficial. All she demands in return is respect, and while certain things must be earned, she will always be willing to comply if it means she will be satisfied.
Memories are not to be touched. Past events are lost in various stories, each of them a bigger lie than the last. A select few can dig them back up; the ocean, for example, remains the one thing Astrid cannot touch. It destroys her.

INTERIOR. Your stereotypical child of the wood. Born and raised in the mystic forestss of Drulan, Tioga was the son of a former king and one of his lower mares. He was raised under the hierarchy and trained at a very young age to be a mere soldier, never quite feeling appreciated whilst under the rule of his father. There were many horses at this time, so much so that it would be fairly easy to formulate a secret grouping. Tioga was among the first to join the grouping that had come together, with the goal of achieving equality within the herd. Original goals soon drifted away as the band morphed themselves into a bunch of lying, thieving troublemakers. They went about their business by day, but at night, they would pilage. Stealing children, mutilating land marks, and taunting predators were not beneath their standards. The herd grew frightened, titling these mysterious foes Bandits.
Tioga had quite a gentle nature, and so he was not usually the one doing the dirty work; more often than not, he was calling the shots. It was because of this that he recieved the most severe punishment once Angus discovered what had been going on. Most were chastized, but few were banished. Tioga was among those sent away from his home. He managed to regroup with the others who had been banished, and with those they continued committing those crimes elsewhere- notably Orut and the free lands. Extremely low in numbers, Tioga found himself participating in some of these acts. He rarely got caught.
With the passing years, many of the original Bandits began dissipating in numbers. Some died from disease over the passing winter, others lost interest. Tioga held firm and kept the remaining motivated, but by the time Spring rolled around, he found himself alone.
