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!!

call me karrie or exodus. I have been roleplaying for about five years now and am currently a member of murders and roses and timberwood. I stumbled upon defying gravity and decided I might like to roleplay from the point of view of a horse. I've only ridden two different horses on two different occasions, but I would love to have at least two at some point in my life. If you want to start a thread with one of my characters, let me know!
hurricane is not by any means a compassionate stallion. he is rebellious and headstrong, both traits which have gotten him into trouble in the past. but that is not to say he does not have some redeeming qualities. hurricane is above all, loyal; although he is difficult to get close to, his friendship is not easily tossed aside. hurricane is brave in the face of danger and will protect those of a lesser strength than himself. he has little patience for flighty or secretive creatures, believing honesty is one of the most important aspects to life. he himself is brutally and often rather untactfully honest. hurricane is a good leader and will listen to the troubles of others. he is a little rough around the edges, but has a good heart.
born on a sunlit day amongst long grasses on a distant island, hurricane was the first offspring of aliyah, a white andalusian mare, and his black friesian father, thunder. In their youth, aliyah's beauty had overthrown the serious and cautious nature of thunder. the two were of different herds, but put that aside and ran off together. their life was not an easy one, but as they grew, thunder became stronger and aliyah smarter. between both of them, they overcame any danger or problem.
neither aliyah nor thunder felt the need for a herd's protection; they were both rather rebellious and free-spirited creature. they settled in the exotic forests on the shores of their island and raised a family. the first was, of course, hurricane. then two years after came sybil and then matthias. together the young family grew. hurricane was the thinker. he was quieter than his siblings and serious like his father. he was also a powerfully built stallion who often led his sister and brother away from danger.
sybil was rather strange from birth. she was white like her mother, but shared none of her father's characteristics or features. she often stared into the distance or struck up conversations with flowers and stones. as she grew older she claimed to see visions. aliyah began to ignore her daughter, preferring to spend more and more time off alone. it was left to thunder and her brothers to ensure she did not wander too far astray.
matthias grew to be strong and brave, with much courage if ever the family was threatened. his handsomeness and pride set hurricane on edge, although it was only later he realized his jealousy. matthias was never close to his mother, despite her efforts to become important in his life. thunder was mattias' role model.
hurricane's life was altered forever when he discovered his mother with another stallion. a handsome arab stallion, amjad, had been meeting aliyah for almost five years. hurricane waited until amjad was alone before he revealed himself and confronted the stranger. amjad was more than surprised. he explained to hurricane that he had had no idea aliyah already had a family. hardly believing him, hurricane confronted his mother. aliyah broke down and told him everything. early on she had tired of thunder's detached nature. she began to feel a longing to be 'free' again, a feeling she discovered when she ran with amjad. sybil, it turned out, was in truth the child of amjad.
almost destroyed by his mother's confession, hurricane told her to leave. he could not believe she would betray all of them, especially thunder. although distressed, aliyah understood and fled. when hurricane found his family, he found them already on edge. it seemed that sybil had been screaming at the ocean for hours, terrified about a vision she had been afflicted with. thunder and matthias were having no trouble calming her.
they had little option but to leave her there as darkness fell. hurricane woke to a feral roar when morning found the beach. a tidal wave was bearing down upon them. sybil had already run for it, for there was no sign of her. thunder was waking matthias and hurricane was shouting for them both to run when the wave hit the sand. hurricane does not know what happened next.
he was swept out to sea and managed to hook his front legs over a palm trunk. half dead, hurricane washed up on the shore of kalala two weeks later.
PRESENT
when he came to, hurricane settled on the island. finding no one else on or close to the beach, the stallion doubts the survival of his father and brother. living with the knowledge that his family has fallen apart is going to take its toll on hurricane. but he is not going to throw his life away. he has claimed kalala island for himself and has decided to found a herd.
